6:16Now PlayingDavid Duke and other farright leaders are thanking Trump for defending their cause. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“White nationalist leader David Duke on Tuesday thanked President Trump for blaming violence in Charlottesville, Va., on the "alt-left."
Duke thanked Trump for his "honesty & courage" in a tweet.
At a press conference Tuesday, Trump doubled down on his claim that "both sides" were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville.
“What about the alt-left that came charging at the — as you say, the alt-right?” Trump said.
“Do they have any semblance of guilt? What about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do,” he continued. “As far as I am concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day.”
Trump accused left-wing anti-fascist or “antifa” protesters of showing up "without a permit," and said they were "very, very violent."
"And nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now," Trump told reporters. "You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent.”
